I just learned a trick to restore brushes with bent bristles! I have a bunch of crazy expensive brushes that have been stored for years since I don’t do nails professionally anymore. Several were not capped and the bristles were bent sideways or curved. Give them a dip in boiling water and reshape to point, let dry thoroughly then condition in monomer. It’s that easy! Some of mine were $100 brushes and now I can use them again. So happy and thanks Suzie for all you do!
Charrissa Cunningham Charrissa Cunningham I edited it well before anyone replied and it was asking if there was a preventative measure One could do to avoid the issue all together; that was before I even finished the video.
I use acetone every time my brush gets gooey and doesn’t pick up the bead correctly and then soak and wipe in monomer right after. Works like a charm and I’m a new tech. Never thought twice about it cause I have watched my Susie do that and I trust you Susie! Experience speaks and newbies listen.
@@cortneypruitt I don't think so but I don't know for sure. We use a very different glue for lash extensions than false lash strips, it's basically a black super glue that can't touch the skin. It's impossible to dissolve it without acetone or a glue remover.
Omg you have no idea how mad at myself I am. I've lost so many brushes. Lol I'm still learning but this omg this is amazing! I love watching your stuff!
Thank you!! I've been a self-taught nail tech for my own nails for at least 15 years & still learned some great & very helpful tips & clarification regarding cleaning brushes. Always aiming to perfect my nail applications & definitely starts with the proper tool/brush & knowing how to care for them.
Your first video dealing with this issue gave me the confidence to invest in quality brushes.... My main brush has remained in great condition since that first instructional video... Thank you so much for saving me quite a lot of money! Xx
I have that exact same glitter acrylic and I swear, if someone so much as breaths or walks past it too quickly while the lid is open, the glitter flies everywhere! I love it though, it fades like a dream!
Your voice is so relaxing!! It's like hypnotic!! My daughter has asked for everything she needs to do her own acrylic nails for Christmas. Your videos have helped me so much since I've never done my own nails before. I feel confident that I'll be able to do her nails by the time Christmas is here 😊
Omg Suzie thank you so much for this video. Most techs say the acetone takes away the natural shine of the brush but i find that this works as well. 32 years is definitely worth People listening to your advice. Experience is everything. Last night i got blue, black really fine glitters into my brush and couldn't get it out lol but now i know how to get them all out thanks to you.
You are so right Suzie this is how we was taught at my training course to use acetone, I’ve got brushes that are 25yrs old I bought them after I passed my training in 1995 and got my certificate if you saw those brushes they are 100% better than the brushes I’ve bought today in 2020 my brushes are sable haired some crimped some pointed but I clean them in acetone and finish them off in brush cleaner they still look brand new after 25yrs, I’m so glad to see a top tech here talk about acetone and brush cleaning👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽✅✅✅acetone is the best way to clean the brushes so thank you for sharing this Suzie🙏🏽👍🏽🥰
I'm going to try this with my natural paint brushes, they're already ruined by dried acrylic paint so it won't hurt anything if it goes wrong. Thanks so much for putting the idea in my head!
@@floridagirl386 it does with pure acetone. I do nails and also love painting with acrylic paint and if i don't wash them right away i use alcohol or acetone and it cleans them pretty well. I also dont use the most expensive brushes for painting so if one gets ruined it wont be a problem but still never happened
It works.great!! I think when people are saying don't use acetone. They might be having issue because acetone will melt the glue holding the hairs into the brush. But if you are careful like you showed us I wouldn't be an issue!!! Great video!!!!!♡
When I was in school, a classmate used my brush and didn't clean it. It was a horrific mess. I went to Sally's (because that's what was close) and looked at their brush cleaners. One of the main ingredients is Acetone. I looked at other brands, same thing, they all had acetone in them.
I simply love your videos. They are so clear and concise yet never condescending to your viewers. This problem has bugged me for some time and I have tried nearly everything except aceton. 🙏
I learned a lot from this video, I have been struggling a lot with acrylic drying in my brush and with my application. I didn't realize if I didn't completely remove the acrylic on my brush after releasing the bead that it can make shaping the acrylic more difficult. Thank you for the tips!
I haven’t been practicing acrylic for awhile so I always come back to S… the beads were starting to stay in powder…🙁 needed to freshen up brush…all I had to do was look up Susie…it’ s nice nice knowing you can bring things back to life! 🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽
I love the fact you teach us the right way it isnt just super glue lol thank u so much for you help now im get all the stuff i got the lamp an nails stuff so far
Another great tutorial Suzie, I've always used an orange wood stick to regularly check for hidden acrylic drying in my brush since watching you do it in another video months ago, it's really helped to save me from having the problem of getting dried acrylic in my brush, so thanks for all the amazing tips and tricks you constantly show us, you've taught me so much and really helped me on my journey to becoming a nail tech.. 😍😍💕💕💅💅Xxx
THIS IS WHAT I WAS TAUGHT IN BEAUTY SCHOOL! I HAVEN'T HAD TOO MUCH LUCK WITH BRUSH CLEANER. IF YOU HAVE QUALITY BRUSHES YOU HAVE BETTER RESULTS IN YOUR WORK AND CAN CLEAN THEM THIS WAY. LOVE YOU AND CAMERAMAN LOL!! 💓💓💓BLESSINGS
I'm so glad you posted this, thank you Suzie. I am brand new to nails and get acrylic jammed in my brushes pretty much every nail. I was afraid to use acetone because of all the other people but am not really in a position where I could buy special cleaner or a new brush. I can't wait to try this tomorrow!
Thank you Suzie, I learn soo much from your tutorials, and I'm very grateful for all your hard work and inspiration... much love from over the sea...🌟💖🌟
How awesome is this❗️This video was posted on my...Birthday‼️I am looking for “nail brushes for acrylic nails” and decided to choose this one since it’s from Nail Career Education. Best of everything is that you’re cleaning the brushes 😍I’ve only used acetone and had nooo idea that the monomer would be the moisturizer 😳. Thank you sooo much for this. Will definitely save this video.
Susie helped me with this tip on FB and ever since it’s been a month or so THIS WORKS, I wish I could afford her classes 😢 I know that they are very beneficial
Suzie the life saver! I just purchased one of the most expensive brushes I've ever had and have almost been afraid to really use it because I was afraid of this very thing. Thank you so much! 💗💞💗💞💗💞
Yes thank you I knew i was right, at first people would tell me to use just monomer but I’m glad now you tell me the right way to do & tips to prevent that happening again. ❤️
“We don’t wanna do that” “we don’t do that with these specific brushes” what a great way to give a student confidence. This wording keeps one from feeling stupid and that is very valuable when learning a new skill
Suzie, video idea! How about some design ideas for shorter nails? How to make something beautiful/unique with limited nail estate? I'd love to see your take on that!
I.agree. I have been doing that for 20 years... I have a brush cleaner cup that has a lid with. varible sizes to hold the brushes and they dont sit on the bottom also So you dont contaminate the acetone. Quality is key! Great video.
I follow your EVERY step you teach and i did acrylic nails really well with my nail forms & i only tried two times.😅 it is not salon worthy but definitely home worthy lol My first set was ugly A "turtle back " 🤣 lol I followed your next advise; Criticize my own work and correct it🥰 I need a little more practice but your videos are very detailed and understanding! THANK YOU! I'm signing up for nail school soon so i was trying to learn as much as i can before going in.😊
Oh thank you for that fabulous tip because my acrylic brush I forgot about it and it’s hard as a rock and I have the exact same acetone is you have so I will give that a try tomorrow
Oh my God Susie you have almost 2 million people subscribe! That's amazing when I started watching you I subscribe when you had about a hundred and eighty thousand that's absolutely insane I never ever look at your subscriber count I always just go right to full screen but today I'm out taking a walk and I didn't have my screen rotate on and I just happened to see it... Congratulations you are doing amazing
Hmm. Suzie has a 16 minute video on cleaning brushes... Is this relevant to my life? Not necessarily... Am I going to watch? Um, yes. Yes, I am. I discovered this channel via Jenna Marbles, and I've been hooked ever since! Between Suzie and Liz from The Nail Hub, I've gotten brave enough to start doing my own nails, and learning to sculpt has been a really fun new hobby! Thanks for teaching so clearly!
That was great! I have always cleaned my brush with acetone... but I was as you called it, a painter. Now I can clean with success‼️🥰. PS. Instead of using tape to hold the brush in the bottle, clothespins work great ❣️😉
this has taught me so much. not only for the cleaning but also why when i lay acrylic it’s always to thin. now i know to wipe my brush so i can lay the acrylic thicker and pat it into shape rather than swiping. thankyou
This is all I do lol.....THANK YOU I don't feel wrong now Suzie Thank you. I've only been doing my nails for 2 years and this is the only thing that works for me😁 you are Awesome!!!
it’s funny that you said people really are against this and it’s SO true! Our instructor was soooo against us putting acetone on our brush. She even had us rub cuticle oil in the brushes (I never did that because I know better.) I’ve been doing nails since I was 15, got certified at 19 and I’ve used this method since day one. I’m 26 now, so 11 years later and I’ve never had a problem 🤷🏻♀️
wow i wish i could have seen this 38 brushes, expensive 38 brushes ago, it could have saved me that much money!! omg i literally cried when i saw this!! bcuz i bought some fancy brushes! and bcuz i had folks telling me, salon techs to be true telling me that i shouldnt use acetone on my brushes and it will disolve the bristles! they said if you dont get it out then the brushes are no good that nothing takes the gel or acrylic out, omg i am so beside myself on how much money i lost and how many beautiful fancy brushes had to die!! thank you so much for this and i hope you never take this vidi down! bcuz i wont remember the next time i go to do my nails and writing it down dont help so this vidi is the one on one education for me, no i am no salon techie but i am practicing on my own nails and dummy hands.
I'm not a professional but do my own acrylics and I just had this issue last night. I never heard or noticed that you should wipe the brush after placing a bead. How did I miss this! Now I can go clean that brush from yesterday. I thought it was a goner. I also had no idea monomer was conditioning! I assumed it was harsh like acetone. Thank you so much.
Suzie! This was super helpful, thank you!! It would be really helpful if you did a video on Advice for gel enhancements on thin/eggshell nails! I struggle with this myself, they've been that way for years and it sucks because I often get lifting and breakage easily.
thanQ so much, this was mighty informative. you just checked like 2 of my bad, recurrent habits. now i know how to solve the problem because i actually know what the problem is! 👏🏽
Informative video! There are also inexpensive cups/containers with incorporated brush holders of various sizes made specifically for keeping your brushes upright while soaking and cleaning them.
Bestie you almost saved me but sadly I had already cut the brisles to my brush that had the acrylic stuck and now I had to get a new one but I tried this and it works 100% ima do dis next time fs so ion have to ruin my brushes. Thank you😭 ( it was my first time I didn’t know🧍🏽♀️)
Don't spend a lot of money on a great brush until you learn how to keep your cheap brushes clean. Trust me. I had at least $100 worth of brushes that I ruined when I was a student! Of course, I didn't have Suzie to teach me how to keep my brushes nicely. You're a lucky student! Also, if you are trying to decide between acrylic powder and hybrid gel, hybrid gel is easier to get right the first time. I just used it for the first time last week, and it's a lot easier than acrylic powder and monomer because you have as much time as you need to get it right, and you never have to chase a runny bead all over the nail. Of course, there is something to be said for finally getting just the right "wet sand" texture to your acrylic powder and monomer blend, too. It's just so very satisfying.
I found your site by accident! I was looking through relaxation videos in order to not beat up the new roomy. Did you know that people are using your shows for relaxation? Your vids are one of my favs. Anyway, I don't do any gidley stuff yet I find myself learning this stuff! Its definitely an art and fun. I've watched the tutorials a lot and so far, although I have confusing brain damaged, I am getting this and having fun. I needed a hobby and I can't stand for people to touch me. Well I imagine that before long I'll be able to do this to myself. Thanks for your help.
Great video Suzie and cameraman. One thing I would do differently is to pour a separate amount of acetone to use to dip the contaminated brush instead of poking it into the whole acetone container if you’re going to use the acetone on other customers. Unless you’re meant to use that container only to clean the brush, which is what Susie may be doing and idk. But I just wanted to point that out for others who are beginners.
This was really helpful, I literally asked this question into a nail tech fb group a few weeks ago as I’m leaning nails but using a cheap brush, I ruined my brush the first day 😩 as I got acrylic hardened and I pulled it out so people were telling me the acetone likely ruined it with it being a cheaper brush. Glad to say I’m getting better lol ❤️
Hi Suzie! I love your channel. I don’t even do my nails and I still watch. I love the relationship between you and “cameraman”🤭. I don’t have a lot of money so when I do paint my nails I use nail polish. Do you have any tip to stop the polish from drying away from my free edge( tip of my nails)? I have very short nails and I feel like I take the polish over the free edge and tip of my finger 😬 but then when the polish dries it ALWAYS pulls away. Gtg keep doing what you guys do and congratulations on how successful you two have become!
Can you please do a video on how to tell if a technician is doing your nails properly. Things to look for, bad signs, etc. Because whenever I get my nails done i feel like there are things i should be noticing. Love the educational content!
I’ve been using acetone to clean my brush for over 30 years. Never had a problem.
When I bought brush cleaner--the one ingredient was Acetone! Dumb. I buy it in Walmart’s Home & Paint Department for $13 (about a Gallon).
Nails by Jennifer Cole Same i found that it works for me
Can I use isopropyl alcohol instead of acetone?
Nisa no.
Can I use nail polish remover

Which monomer do you use?
I was JUST dealing with this issue. Are you a mind reader? Thank you so much!
Me too
I was gonna comment the same thing 😱😱😱 Literally yesterday I lost a brush to a mess of dried acrylic🤣

My brush is always frayed after I use it and then try acetone .. help :(
@@kayr3883 acetone will fray low quality brushes
so acetone is like a shampoo and monomer a conditioner haha

Logically yes..I do it all the time..I never used brush cleaner. just acetone and monomer..
Iant she greaf and to the po ih nt!
GiannaMaria Logan wtf???!
@@gl-jp8up what. What did i do?
Acetone is such a useful product. We use it in the lash extension world for dissolving the glue off of our tools.
Yup - we do that to 👍🏼
@@lil4z really?? It's too toxic to be using it for cleaning big spaces?
Could it be used to clean false lashes too??
@@cortneypruitt I don't think so but I don't know for sure. We use a very different glue for lash extensions than false lash strips, it's basically a black super glue that can't touch the skin. It's impossible to dissolve it without acetone or a glue remover.

Omg you have no idea how mad at myself I am. I've lost so many brushes. Lol I'm still learning but this omg this is amazing! I love watching your stuff!
You can use a clip for hanging clothes to hold the brush in the bottle of acetone without it dropping in and messing its shape!
This is brilliant, thank you
Oooh good one!
i added rubber bands so it stops the brush from hitting the bottom of the small bottle so it doesnt mess up the shape of bristles
Excellent Idea, Thanks! 💋
There are some special vases for holding the brushes :)
Please make a video about brush sizes, shape , crimped , top brands (your top 5) and pricing . Please , please !! 😭
Agreed!
Please 🙏

I've been wondering more about this! Thanks for all the details suzie
Informative video! There are also inexpensive cups/containers with incorporated brush holders of various sizes made specifically for keeping your brushes upright while soaking and cleaning them.
Bestie you almost saved me but sadly I had already cut the brisles to my brush that had the acrylic stuck and now I had to get a new one but I tried this and it works 100% ima do dis next time fs so ion have to ruin my brushes. Thank you😭 ( it was my first time I didn’t know🧍🏽♀️)
Very helpful, it's super nice to know this stuff BEFORE I do my first go at it!!! 💜
Don't spend a lot of money on a great brush until you learn how to keep your cheap brushes clean. Trust me. I had at least $100 worth of brushes that I ruined when I was a student! Of course, I didn't have Suzie to teach me how to keep my brushes nicely. You're a lucky student!
Also, if you are trying to decide between acrylic powder and hybrid gel, hybrid gel is easier to get right the first time. I just used it for the first time last week, and it's a lot easier than acrylic powder and monomer because you have as much time as you need to get it right, and you never have to chase a runny bead all over the nail. Of course, there is something to be said for finally getting just the right "wet sand" texture to your acrylic powder and monomer blend, too. It's just so very satisfying.
@@calichef1962 THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH, you'll never know how much I appreciate your tips 💜💜💜
Just love ur videos and way of teaching thank you !!!!from a nail newbie ❤💜💙
Where did you get your monomer bottle? I love it.
I love your videos suzie! You are the one that inspired me to be nail tech!!!
Thank you 😊 i didnt know as a newbie what to do this workes so well
I have finally got to the point of not clogging my brush after a year n half
That is so awesome! There is hope for me then lol
Saving this video right away for when I'm going to start out doing acrylic nails :3
Amen! 33 year nail tech veteran here as well, acetone always and then condition with liquid.....wala always perfect
Im so glad i found ur channel!! Im just startin out and ive been havin this issue and had no idea what to do😅
That just happened to me 😖 .... now I know how to clean the brush and that pure acetone won’t damage it, thank you very much 💫💫💫💫
I found your site by accident! I was looking through relaxation videos in order to not beat up the new roomy. Did you know that people are using your shows for relaxation? Your vids are one of my favs. Anyway, I don't do any gidley stuff yet I find myself learning this stuff! Its definitely an art and fun. I've watched the tutorials a lot and so far, although I have confusing brain damaged, I am getting this and having fun. I needed a hobby and I can't stand for people to touch me. Well I imagine that before long I'll be able to do this to myself. Thanks for your help.
Very helpful. Exactly what I was looking for thanks hun
You teach really well I have learned a lot from your videos thanks you so much
Your video is literally the only video that helped me
SUPER HELPFUL. ILOVEYOU SUZIE! ❤️
Yes acetone worked to removed dried acrylic in acetone..i used it many times then monomer. Thumbs up 👍
Great video Suzie and cameraman. One thing I would do differently is to pour a separate amount of acetone to use to dip the contaminated brush instead of poking it into the whole acetone container if you’re going to use the acetone on other customers. Unless you’re meant to use that container only to clean the brush, which is what Susie may be doing and idk. But I just wanted to point that out for others who are beginners.
Thank you Suzie! 💜
This was really helpful, I literally asked this question into a nail tech fb group a few weeks ago as I’m leaning nails but using a cheap brush, I ruined my brush the first day 😩 as I got acrylic hardened and I pulled it out so people were telling me the acetone likely ruined it with it being a cheaper brush. Glad to say I’m getting better lol ❤️
Thank you so much I just saved two good brushes because of this video!!
These tips are great! I was having these problems but this is really helpful😀
Hi Suzie! I love your channel. I don’t even do my nails and I still watch. I love the relationship between you and “cameraman”🤭. I don’t have a lot of money so when I do paint my nails I use nail polish. Do you have any tip to stop the polish from drying away from my free edge( tip of my nails)? I have very short nails and I feel like I take the polish over the free edge and tip of my finger 😬 but then when the polish dries it ALWAYS pulls away. Gtg keep doing what you guys do and congratulations on how successful you two have become!
Amazing nail tec love her she's the best susie always explains everything in detail
Can you please do a video on how to tell if a technician is doing your nails properly. Things to look for, bad signs, etc. Because whenever I get my nails done i feel like there are things i should be noticing. Love the educational content!
Yeah just watch her & you'll see how its really done!😘💘
